To get a list of files in a given directory one can use glob.glob and
The OP had a different problem. He wanted to find a config file of
known name that could be in one of several locations.
This can be done by replacing the star wildcard the join(dir, '*') with a
filename or filename glob pattern.
tmp_files = []
for dir in ['/tmp', '/var/tmp']:
... tmp_files += [f for f in glob(join(dir, filename_to_find)) if
isfile(f) ]
But then the glob is useless.
Just try to open the file as Chris already demonstrated.

Indeed - a simple loop over the possible dirs each concatenated with the
known file name is quick and easy.
Was only responding on the glob/pathlib stuff as there seemed to be
information missing, not to claim it was necessarily a better solution
for this need (could still be used, though).
